THE FISHERMAN & FARMER wants
an ice factory at Edenton. We know
OF no better location for one and think
it would pay handsomely.-Falcon.
Thus it will be seen that others,
whose opinions are worthy, are
agreed with us as to Edenton being a
suitable place for an ice factory.
Will not some of our home people
take hold of the matter, ere others
come to reap the reward so certain
and SO abundantly to follow such an
undertaking? Be assured if we miss
the chance others. whose attention
has been drawned to the matter, will
improve the opportunity and occupy
the field. When once undertaken by
others our people will be precluded
even at expense of failure.

QUIT WORK.

Tuesday night two colored caulkers
arrived in Berkeley from Edenton, N. G.
They were put to work at Messrs. John
L. Thomas & Co. s yard. On Wednes-
day at noon they were waited on by a
committee of both white and colored
caulkers from the two cities, and the
situation of the case was explained to
them, after which they agreed that if
the committee would send them home
again that they would not work any
longer, which was readily done. The
left yesterday for their homes. This
leaves the situation as it was at the be-
ginning. -Norfolk Virginian.

There are many towns in the State

instances in which, with strictness,
the law is enforced. Were it other

The certainty of punt shment, as

punishment certain SO as that all of

according to the extent of their crime,
and YOU will see in those towns and
cities, where drunkenness is made
a crime. less of the evil Of intemper-
ance and less of other crimes, which,
though some times committed by men

traceable to the influence of rum.

IN speaking OF the next NonInce
for @ Governor" the News and Observer
says, among other things wise and
therefore valuable:
Il he question OF the democratic
nominee for governor la beginning to
agitate the press of the State. The
man should be in the first place
patriotic citizen. He should be sound
in the democratic faith. He should
be acceptable, of course, to every
section. He should be strong on the
stump and in the council chamber.
able to arouse the enthusiasm of his
party in every county, whose every
bugle blast would be worth thou
sand men, who would light the fires of
democracy on every hilltop and in
every plain, whose name, in short,
would be a synonym in every demo
cratic household for all that is true to
party and commonwealth and ofgood
report"
Vance and Jarvis, one or the other,
or both, must have been in the mind
of the editor who penned those lines,
because no one else has ever succeed
ed in raising that enthusiasm which
he regards as essential, and no un.
tried person can with certainty be
relied upon for success in this direc-
ton. They can succeed in arrousing
the people, even unaided by others,
because of their prelusive history as
men, but he who now undertakes it
alone will find himself in the midst of
a task herculean yea, impossible to be
perfo med. Even Vance and Jarvis,
in the beginning of their political, post
bellum history we're strongly aided by
able and numerous friends, without
whom. it is fair to conclude, enthusi-
asm would not have been limitless,
as it were, and the condition of the
ballot box would have been far less
crowded. If men, leaders in the
party, would think less of men and
more Of principles, enthusiasm would
be easily enkindled and the party,
which is regarded as essential to the
country's welfare, woald not be de-
pendent upon power to create enthu-
siasm, upon this man or that man, up
on oratory, personal, physical endur-
ance, or upon sectional favorites. In
this age Of advance it seems to us
rejecting TO say that it is the MAN
rather than the claims ofp .rgy princi
pies upon which the existence Of any
honorable political organization is
dependent. II the party will take the
advice Of the News and Observer fol-
lowing:
"In the approaching conflict we will
de well to exert our every effort for
success. We can afford to trust
nothing to the prestige Of former VIC
tories. We must summon every ener-
gy and 60 in to win," etc.
We will succeed with any man to
lead Us in the undertaking who is of
the first order of ability, the truest
patriotism and the purest devotion to
party "The convention in it's wis
dom will doubtless choose such a

Two years have almost passed since
we assumed the duties of this office.
We then thought we knew something
OF the Indian, from personal contract
with him for fourteen years.
This experience waslworth little to
us, as We soon found out that the In
dian Department., many, of whom
never saw an Indian, knew more
about him than we did. For many
years the very name of Indian Agent
has savored Of fraud and robbery. Z 2
When we assumed the office, it took
a strong personal character to hold its
own against the mal-odorousness Of
the name. We are perfectly willing
for some one else to try his hand at
civilizing the Indian. g 'hsaH1 ~

Il take great pleasure in informing
you that the treaty of reciprocity with
the United States has been definitely ex-
tended for seven years upon the terms as
those in the original treaty, with the ad-
dltion Of a clause granting to national
vessels of the Union States the exclusive
privilege of entering the Pearl river har-
Dor and establishing there q coaling and

mature dellberation and interchange be-
tween my government and that of the
United States of the Interpretation of said
clause whereby it is agreed and under
stood that it does not cede any territory or
part with or impair any right of the SOW
ereignItY or jurisdiction on the part of
the Hawaiian kingdom, and that such
privilege is coterminous with the treaty.

A Brutal Outrage.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. IA Mexico,
Mo-, special to the Journal says: Six
masked men broke into the house Of Har-
rison Scott. a colored farmer living four
miles north, last night. and tried to drag
him out of the house. He resisted des-
perately, but they overcame him, and
after peating him into insensibility left.
Upon their departure a conflict arose be
tween some of the assassins and SCOTS
children. After the former got out of
the house they fired a volley. One shot
took effect in the abdomen of 2O-year-
old ~stepdaughter of Scott. She will
probably die. The only cause known for
the brutal outrage is that there has been
a number of small fires and some petty
thieving going on, and there was a rumor
that Scott WAS responsible for il.

Gold Discoveries in Arizona.

SAN Francisco, Nov. l7.-Tele-
graphed reports from Prescott. Ariz are
uniform In the statement that apparently
wonderful discoveries of a gold ledge have
been made on the Hassayumpa river, ten
miles FROM Prescott. The strike was
made on the side Of a hill 200 feet above
the level OF the creek. The product of
the mine thus far is declared to be the
richest ever known on the coast, and has
naturally provoked great excitement
throughout Arizona. The ledge is twenty
inches wide, runs north and south, and
can be traced for nearly two miles. The
quartz rock taken from the ledge is said
to average $l00,0 900 OF gold a ton.
